There is a phrase which comes and goes in popularity – Believing is Seeing.
This phrase is usually on a background of a toddler interacting with a fairy, something Tinkerbellish.
I wonder if Tinkerbell will get the Wicked treatment at some point. They’ll find her turning tricks in a trashy bar’s bathroom in some third world miners’ camp.
Or in the far north at a logging or drilling camp.
Shows you the kind of day I’m having that the above is what I come up with, huh?
“Believing is Seeing” is publicly relegated to writers, crackpots, fantasists, and the like.
We don’t often associate it with sages and wisdomkeepers.
But if Einstein, Bohm, Pasteur, Archimedes, Copernicus, Chi Lin, Ramachanadran, Gush Ni Pur, and others hadn’t believed first they never would have seen what they did and our world would not be what it is.
Hmm…
Perhaps best to leave “Seeing is Believing” to the writers, crackpots, fantasists, and children, me thinks.
